SOG Knives, which was established by Spencer Frazer in 1986, is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026. His affinity for axes, knives and other hand tools took hold while he was in the Boy Scouts. Between earning merit badges and ultimately launching what would become one of the industry’s foremost knife manufacturers, he graduated from UCLA, established a cutting-edge audio company and worked in a “black projects division” of the aerospace defense industry. Frazer also became active in the modern art movement, getting an informal education on color and scale from several prominent artists. Majors in science and math, a…

At SHOT Show 2026, Ruger announced two new entries into the American Rifle lineup: the Gen II Scout and Gen II Patrol. Originally released in 2011, the American rifles represent a fantastic balance of cost and performance and frequently top the short lists of suggested first bolt-actions. The second generation, introduced in 2023, included many welcome upgrades, including a three-position safety and an adjustable stock system. As a fan of the “practical rifle” concept, the Scout and Patrol variants were exactly what I wanted to see, and a welcome return to the format Ruger stepped away from when the company…

It was already 80 degrees before the sun peeked over the horizon. I had sweat rolling like the Mississippi between my shoulder blades, but that wasn’t even the worst of it. A cloud of mosquitoes found me, buzzing in from off the pond like a formation of B-52 bombers taking aim at their target—me.Early season deer hunting in the South is a special kind of misery. It’s hot and humid, and you sweat in places you didn’t know you could sweat. Plus, the bugs are still partying like it’s midsummer. Somewhere around the tenth mosquito bite, it’s easy to start…

This episode of NRA’s The Armed Citizen Podcast refutes one of the biggest false claims gun-control groups and the politicians they support repeat ad nauseam by asserting that the Founding Fathers could not have imagined the AR-15. The historical truth is, as Joe Greenlee, director of the Office of Litigation Counsel at the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, explains, repeating arms were definitely known to the Founding generation—and to generations before. To make sure the U.S. Supreme Court is aware of this history before the court hears the consolidated cases Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, which challenge the “assault-weapons”…

Drifting on a capsized skiff, an Alaskan teenager was pulled to safety after multiple days in the Bering Sea. Kneeling on the overturned boat with his head down, the 15-year-old held the line that would haul him to shelter.The rescue followed a fishing trip by two brothers and a cousin from the remote Siberian Yupik village of Savoonga on St. Lawrence Island. The three left Friday in an 18-foot skiff in search of halibut and were expected back by early Sunday morning. When they failed to return, Alaska State Troopers were notified Sunday afternoon. The troopers later alerted the U.S.…

Though the company is best known for its AR-15 components and complete firearms, North Carolina’s Bear Creek Arsenal also makes 10/22-pattern rimfires and handguns. New for 2026, it is introducing its first AK-pattern firearm with the BC-47. Bear Creek Arsenal has been producing AK barrels for other manufacturers for years, so it only made sense that they would start producing the rest of the firearms. Bear Creek Arsenal is no stranger to the AK market, having built barrels for other AK manufacturers for years. The company’s new BC-47, unsurprisingly, is built around one of its own barrels chambered in 7.62×39…
